How to Winterize Your Swimming Pool in Sacramento

Balance Chemical Levels in Water

total alkalinity should fall in the 80 to 150 parts per million (PPM) range
calcium hardness should be between 180 and 220 PPM
Add a chlorine or non chlorine shock agent to the pool for sanitizing purposes
wait for the chlorine level to fall back within the 1.0 to 3.0 PPM range

Remove Debris in Swimming Pool
Use a skimmer or leaf net to remove floating items.
Clean the surface of the walls and floor with a stiff-bristle brush.

Lower Water Level on Pool
Pool’s water level to approximately 2 inches below the lowest return line.

Remove Fittings and Accessories
Remove all of the pool’s fittings, such as wall fittings, skimmer baskets, cleaners and lights accessories.

Drain Pump and Filter
Remove all water from pump and lines. If plumbing freezes with water inside of it it will crack.

Blow Out Lines

Add Winterizing Chemicals
Add a winterizing chemical kit to the water. This will help prevent large fluctuations in your pH
